5 ideas for guided tours in Hungary

• Lake Balaton

  

  It’s around Lake Balaton, the largest lake in Europe, that much of Hungary’s population heads in summer. Its 260 km of shoreline has earned it the nickname “the inland sea.”

  Here you’ll find beautiful sandy beaches with every kind of water activity, and pleasantly warm, fresh water. Around the lake, there are also remarkable historic towns such as Veszprém, one of Hungary’s oldest cities, Keszthely, and Tihany, the most picturesque spot with its peninsula and a 400-hectare nature reserve.

  Step into the Badacsony vineyards to taste some truly refined white wines.

• Szeged

  

  Szeged is the third largest city in Hungary, located in the south near the Serbian border. The city is lively, with a young and energetic atmosphere thanks to its large university.

  Its architecture is particularly appealing. You’ll find Art Nouveau buildings like the Gròf Palace from 1913, as well as stunning historic landmarks on Cathedral Square, including the Votive Church and the Orthodox church with its many icons. Szeged is also home to its thermal baths, Anna fürdő, built in 1896.

  For a stroll, there’s nothing better than walking along Kárász Street, where you’ll see beautiful houses, browse the shops, and stop by cafés and restaurants to try the city’s famous fish soup.

• Pécs

  

  After many long years of Turkish occupation, the city of Pécs, located just a few kilometers from Croatia, enjoys a climate where sunshine and warmth are almost constant throughout the year.

  Its unique charm lies in its inviting city center, perfect for strolling along pedestrian streets lined with baroque houses topped with red-tiled roofs.

  The city has preserved its oriental atmosphere. Proof of this can be seen on Széchenyi Square, where the former Mosque of Pasha Gazi Kassim, built in 1546, now serves as a Catholic church.

• Tokaj

  

  Famous for its vineyards stretching as far as the eye can see, the Tokaj region, near the Ukrainian border, is a true haven for wine lovers and those seeking enchanting landscapes.
